In response to the critical challenges of food security and rising costs of essential food items, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) announced plans to distribute forfeited food items, including rice, groundnut oil, and noodles, to Nigerians.
This initiative aims to mitigate hunger and reduce the soaring prices of food items across the country.
The decision, made by the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s food security agenda and the NCS’s mandate to serve the best interests of the Nigerian people.
The distribution will be conducted transparently and equitably, ensuring that the benefits reach those most in need. The NCS reaffirmed its dedication to safeguarding food security and enhancing the economic well-being of all Nigerians, seeking the public’s unwavering support and cooperation in overcoming these challenges.
